A/N- Here's the NEW chapter three…It was brought to my attention that Kamek is a male. I thought Kamek and Kammy were the SAME PERSON, well I was wrong so I am reposting this with the character I intended it to be...I am really sorry if this confused anbody...So KAMMY will be the character from now on...If you see anymore mistakes tell me and I'll fix it... As I'm sure you guessed this part takes place in the world of Donkey Kong…There will only be few characters from the series appearing so please don't be angry if your favorite doesn't make an appearance…Also I'm going to step away from K. Rool's bumbling ways and portray him a little darker…I'm also going to expand on the character of Kamek (to see what I mean you'll have to read)…Anyway onward to the adventure…Please review…Enjoy!

Rumble in the Jungle
The dark cave was lighted up briefly with a flash. Mario and Peach stood on the dirt ground amongst the rocks. Light from an opening not far away shone in enough for them to see. Mario quickly took the orb and put it in his pocket.
"It looks like were in a cave." Mario said.
Peach let go of his hand and started walking towards the opening with the light.
"Where are you going?" Mario asked.
"Getting out of here. Come on."
Mario followed behind her as they walked. He liked this new side of her. This Peach was strong, confident, and surprisingly tom-boyish. Not to mention her new powers that had come to the surface. Her new self had come to light so quickly he was still trying to grasp it, but what he had seen so far he liked. He would never say it but he liked this Peach more than the old. He looked up and saw they were near the exit. The sound of water falling could now be heard. They reached the exit and stepped out of the cave to get their first glimpse of the world of Kongo.
Peach gasped as she looked out at the new world she was in. The mouth of the cave opened up next to a rushing river that was fed by a waterfall to the left. The mist coming from the water created a rainbow that over the river. Trees of various sizes and heights covered the landscape. They covered the ground as far as she could see, with the exception of cleared areas which she assumed were paths through the forest. The tree's all shone a bright emerald green in the sunlight. A flock of birds flew over them chirping happily. She couldn't tell what they looked like, but she imagined they were as beautiful as the rest of this world.
"It's amazing…" Peach said in awe, "there's nothing like this back home."
"Shhhh"
"What!" Peach said reproachfully, "Don't 'shush' me! I—"
"Quiet!" Mario seethed, "Listen!"
Peach cupped her ears and listened. After a moment she heard a low revving that was getting louder. "That's getting closer."
"Come on, we need to hide." Mario said urgently.
"Wait. We can't assume we need to hide."
"Well we can't exactly hide once they get here."
"To late their already here."
A small inter-tube came around the bend of the river. A propeller was connected to the back which gave it the power to go up stream. It was steered by a simple rod sticking out in the front…And a small brown chimp gripped that rod. It looked over at the duo and steered the boat over to the edge where they stood. Peach noticed the chimp had the same taste for red that Mario did. It wore a simple red cap and t-shirt. The little boat stopped at the edge and the chimp got out looking at Mario and Peach.
"Hi there little guy!" Peach said in an overly sweet voice.
"Don't talk to it like that." Mario said sardonically.
"Please don't talk like I'm not here." the chimp said.
"You can talk?" Mario asked
"And pick my nose." the chimp said sarcastically, "The name's Diddy."
"Don't mind him. I'm Peach and he's Mario."
"Nice to meet ya. Hop in the boat, Cranky's been having me look for you."
"How did you know we were coming?" Mario asked.
"I'll explain on the way, get in."
Mario and Peach got in the boat, followed by Diddy. They turned around and headed back down river.
"Alright," Diddy began, "we knew someone—not you specifically—but someone was coming. Lately we've had trouble with some new baddies, an ugly old woman and a giant turtle thing."
"Bowser…" Mario said.
"and Kammy…" Peach seethed.
"So those are their names. Even though they've been here a few weeks we've never learned their names." Diddy announced.
"Wait!" Mario said, "A few weeks? They couldn't have been here for more than a few hours."
"No. They've for at least three weeks…look that parts really complicated I'll let Cranky explain that. Anyway we knew you were coming because of Bowser and Kammy. When we first ran into them Cranky said they couldn't have been from this world because they didn't know who Donkey Kong was—don't ask you'll meet him later. So we've been waiting for someone to come from their world to come after them. Now, how I found you was by chance. I've been going up and down the river banks everyday since Cranky told us you could be coming."
"This Cranky sure seems to know a lot." Mario said.
"He's been around awhile." Diddy commented.
Peach leaned over closer to Mario and whispered in his ear, "He sounds a lot like Toadsworth. Kammy might be after Cranky like she was him."
"We'll have to watch after him, if we ever meet him. We can't take chances after what they did at the castle." Mario whispered back.
"What makes matters worse," Diddy continued, "is that our local baddie, K. Rool, has teamed up with them."
"You seem to be taking this all in stride." Mario said.
"What do you mean?" Diddy asked.
"I mean all this about other worlds and such."
"I've had a few weeks to process it. At first it totally freaked me out, but now I just accept it."
The trio traveled in silence the rest of the way. Mario stared out at the forest trying to figure out what Bowser was up to. He went over everything that Kammy had said back at the castle, and that's when he realized something. Kammy and Bowser came to the castle for a crystal star, but no one ever said why they wanted it in the first place.
Now they were in another world for an unknown reason. Why? Mario couldn't figure it out and decided to keep it to himself. It bothered him that they had gotten the star in the first place, but it bothered him even more that Bowser and Kammy did not stick around and gloat about it.

K. Rool paced around in the open mine cave he used as a headquarters. He knew getting the crystal coconut would be difficult, and the bumbling fools he used for lackeys didn't help matters. That's why he rid himself of their nuisance. When Bowser left here for Hyrule he had left the witch behind to help find the coconut. When the witch proved much more useful than Klump and the others, he had them…disappear. Kamek had been more useful in the past three weeks than the others had been their whole lives. She even had him in tears of joy a little while ago when she had brought back a captive.
"Rool." came a voice.
He broke from his thoughts to see Kammy standing in front of him. "Any progress?" Rool asked.
"She's a tough one. No matter what I do to her she won't say a word about the coconut."
"That's too bad. Keep trying."
"I'd do it even if you told me to stop."
"You're so dark…" Roll said with a grin, "I love it!"
Kammy made no response to this, just turned around and walked away. She walked down a short hallway, and then came to a flight of stairs that spiraled down. She began trudging down them, and after a few minutes she reached the bottom where a single door stood closed. She went through and entered a room with a single steel cage inside.
"Shall we get back to work?" Kammy said, sneering at small chimp with long blonde hair.

Diddy parked the boat next to a small pier on the river. The trio stepped out onto the wooden deck.
"Diddy!" came a voice in the distance.
"Who was that?" Peach asked.
"Looks like you're gonna meet Donkey Kong sooner than I thought." Diddy said.
A large gorilla then jumped out of the forest running towards them. Mario and Peach assumed this was Donkey Kong, for the only thing he wore was a red tie that had the letters D and K on it.
"Diddy! Diddy it's awful!" DK yelled.
"Whoa slow down! What happened!" Diddy yelled, as DK stopped in front of them.
"Diddy, I hate to tell you like this…but something's happened."
"What?"
"Diddy, while you were gone that witch attacked the tree-house!"
Mario and Peach listened intently at the mention of Kammy.
"What!"
"But that's not the worst part…dude I'm sorry but…she captured Dixie."
Diddy heard a ringing in his head at the news. His legs went weak and he fell to his knees. Peach walked over to him and put her hands on his shoulders.
"Who are you?" DK asked, taking notice of the humans for the first time.
"Oh…" Mario said, "I'm Mario and she's Peach. We're her to help with Bowser and Kammy—the turtle and the witch."
"Then we need to get back to Cranky." DK said, "Little buddy I know you're upset, but we need to go."
"O…K." Diddy said weakly getting up, "Peach grab onto me, it'll be quicker if we swing."
"Are you sure?" Peach asked.
"Yeah…grab on."
She knelt down and wrapped her arms around Diddy's waist. He then jumped up and grabbed onto a tree limb, and starting swinging from tree to tree going deeper into the forest.
"Mario is it?" DK said, "Guess that means you're with me, grab on."
Mario walked up to DK and wrapped his arms around him. DK followed suit with Diddy and started swinging through the forest.
"So, who is Dixie?" Mario asked, as they swung through the trees.
"She's Diddy's one and only. He's crazy about her."
"Can you think of why Kammy would take her?"
"The only thing Cranky and I could think of was that she was going to use Dixie to find the crystal coconut."
"Crystal coconut?"
"It's a magical treasure that we—the Kong tribe—guard."
"Do you know why they want it?"
"I don't know why your guys want it; K. Rool has always been after it."
"Well, at any rate Peach and I will help in any way we can."

Kammy slammed her foot down in frustration. She had tried every pain-inducing spell she could think of and the chimp still wouldn't talk. She was on the verge of just giving up and killing her. Kamek paced around the room as the chimp followed her with hate filled eyes.
"I'll never talk. Unless you were me you'll never know." Dixie said in a stern voice.
Kammy immediately stopped pacing and thought to herself, "Of course, how could be so stupid! This whole time I've been doing the hard way! That stupid girl has just un-wittingly opened the door to getting that coconut!" She immediately dashed to the door and left the room. She raced up the stairs and into the open cave where K. Rool was still pacing. "Rool, I have it!"
"You know where the coconut is?" Rool said as his eyes bulged with excitement.
"Not exactly, but I have figured out away to find it."
"How?"
"With my magic I'm going to turn you into that girl."
"What?"
"I'm going to turn you into that girl. Then you're going to go back to the rest of those monkeys and convince them to take you to the coconut."
"Brilliant idea, but why me instead of you?"
"Because you know them better. You know how they act around each other. I couldn't fake but you might be able to."
"How would I do that?"
"Wing it, who cares? As soon as I put the spell on you, you'll have twelve hours to get that coconut."
"Where will you be during all this?"
"Bowser told me to head back to Hyrule when I'm done here; apparently I'm needed for Ganon's part of the plan as well…When I put the spell on you I'm of no use here anymore. Now get ready."
Kammy walked up to him and hit Rool's head with her wand. He immediately started to glow. His legs and arms started shrinking and his scales started to grow fur. His stomach and snout went back into his body as a tail started to grow out of his backside. He stopped glowing after a few moments and started feeling his body with his new hands. He felt the long hair on his head and the pink beanie that covered it. He looked at his body to see that he truly been turned into a chimp.
"This is disgusting." Dixie/Rool said.
"The spell will break in twelve hours. You need to grab that coconut before then. It will be dark soon so you should have till mid-morning." Kammy produced a small whistle from her dress, "If you run into trouble blow this whistle. It will summon help that I have used in the past."
Dixie/Rool took the whistle and put under the beanie.
"Now go! The clock is officially ticking!" Kammy said.
"Do not boss—"
"Go!"
Dixie/Rool turned and stomped out of the cave. The may have done good work, but she needed to learn some respect. As he walked out he stopped and lifted up a rock. It covered a small hole which contained a small red orb. He picked it up and put it in the pocket of his pink shirt. As soon as he had his hands on the coconut he was out this place, to Hyrule. As he walked out a flash lit up the cave. He turned to see that Kammy had gone.
Guess I'm on my own now. Dixie/Rool thought.
